Yup. Study but get what rest you can. Then clear your mind and even try to watch or find something amusing beforehand. A brain in a good mood can recall and think clearer. But, you will do fine. You rock.

Perhaps, but I also believe that a system can foment a specific situation within the gaming fiction, which is what I want when I play an RPG.

Yes, I’ve played starting above 1st level. I’ve been playing for about 25 years now (I know this comes across as haughty, but it isn’t meant that way). I’ve done all types of campaigns by now. There was a time when the minutiae of D&D was fine by me. Shit, I used to know 2e and 3e by heart. But I’ve changed and that’s not of interest to me now. Which is precisely why I don’t care for 4e. So yeah, I accept that you’ve had some neat experiences with 4e and epicness and I 100% believe you because I have close friends who vouch for that. But it doesn’t work for me. Hence the post.

I’m also talking about why system matters, but that’s more implied in the post as I didn’t want to get into a theory discussion.

As soon as you apply game mechanics to such a situation they all become the same, system trumps imagery. The system tries to emulate the imagery but in the end system takes the forefront over the image. This will happen no matter what system you use. Unless you are using a 100% narrative system that is in reality nothing but telling a story together with no mechanics at all.
